The head has a brownish grey colour. It has an unsophisticated look. Large bubbles lie on top of a foamy substance.It doesn't stay long. What remains is a brown-grey layer that reminds me of cream on top of coffee. There is some nice lacing present.

The odour is controlled by a strong malt sent. Other elements are candy, caramel or banana and dades.

The flavour is quite strong in comparison to the protestant odour. As soon as the beer enters the mouth an eruption of taste dazzles the drinker. Chocolate, malt, cherries, banana, pineapple, caramel, yeast and to top it off, a nice bitter whip of hop.

The mouthfeel is very creamy.

The aftertaste is as rich as the flavour. The strong elements linger on for minutes (pure chocolate, malt, pineapple).

Drinkability: VERY

I must say! How stupid where we to trade in Bock for Pilsner… (935 characters)

Copper in color with half a finger of persistent off-white head. The usual bready aroma with some nice fruity notes. Grape is most prominent with a bit of apple and a faint grassiness. Taste is similar to smell with the addition of some herbal flavors. Slight sweet but pleasantly so. Pretty decent if nothing special. (331 characters)

Nice molasses color in glass. Small head. Some lacing. Not much nose. Sweet honey flavor with nice carbonation on the tongue. A great buy at 5.19 euros at local grocery store. Don't be put off by the brand Brand. This is good stuff!

This became my fav "every day" beer while it was available in fall and winter. The Brand Lentebock is available in spring, and is similar in taste, but is a bit thinner/lighter. Makes me wish the Dubbelbock was available year round. (466 characters)

Color is a nice but very clear dark brown with a red hue. Head disappears very quickly, some carbonation going on in the glass.

Smell: hmm, quite faint. Some malts, brown sugar. Some spices.

Taste: something bitter at first, like burned sugar. Then some medium sweet malts kick in, with some apple. Later more fruits, grapes, tart berries and more sweet notes with a slight spicyness, almost honey like. Aftertaste is bitter again, seems mainly from the yeast.

Mouth: quite light. Some alcohol is definately present. Quite a lot of carbonation (a bit too much maybe). Slightly syrupy sweet on the lips. Not bad.

Bockbeer from a regional Dutch brewery, appearantly the oldest in the Netherlands, producing mostly pilsner for bars and pubs, but also specialty brews like this one, for obvious reasons.

Chestnut colour, with a decent light orange cream coloured head, that disappears pretty quickly. Good carbonation.Smell and taste malty, some red fruits, plenty of caramel/syrup.There's harshness in the aftertasting of alcohol.Decently refreshing, but all in all very ordinary bock.

22 Oct 2012 saw me, my wife and 26 other members of the CAMRA Investors club have a wonderful afternoon as guests of the brewery: after a film show and giuded tour of the brewery we adjourned to the tasting celler bar where we were given seven different brews to taste: I had plenty of each!

This lovely amber brew was just about my favourite of the bunch on the day.

Malty and caramel smells filled my nose and those flavours carried on into the taste, this is a fairly sweet brew although it does have a slight undercurrent of hop bitterness just below the surface. It catered for my sweet tooth nicely and although it wasn't rich or creamy it did hide the alcohol level well. I would have liked more fruitiness and depth of flavour for a Dubbelbock, but it was better than OK. (781 characters)

Taste is surprisingly non-tooth aching sweet, the sweetness has been brought down to acceptable levels, where only the stickiness is felt on the lipps. It has some chocolate and strong caramel notes that result in a good maltbitter. Malt is evident and supports the roasted and burned malts. Halfway the beer starts to get more warming and medium alcoholic, the stickiness seems to increase, but still at an acceptable level.

A very solid dubbelbock with everything in it. Good stuff! (618 characters)

This was another one of my tastings in Maastricht, really refreshing and pleasantly surprised. It has a lot of good flavors in it, red fruit, a bit sweet & caramel. Also sour. Could have been a bit more pronounced in my book. But certainly refreshing and a good autumn beer. This was the only Brand beer I drank during my 3 day stay, but next time I'll try another. Decent quality (380 characters)

Red brown with a fair lacing head, diminising during the drink. Rich noise, containing malt, burned malt, sweetness and I sense a touch of vanilla.(but I m not sure.)
The taste reveals malt, burned malt, even hops: bitter/light sweet taste. Medium/full body, not overcarbonated very dry mouthfeel. The taste sticks in your mouth and is astringent(in a good sense). Aftertaste: burned, hoppiness and spicy.

Robust and creamy head. The aroma is slightly fruity and a little yeast.Beer flavor is coffee, alcohol is not perceptible, lightly bitter beer. Really delicious, I encourage you to try (185 characters)

Taste: Wow, this is a nice beer with 4 clear taste layers...-At first the beer is sweet: caramel, roasted malts -The sweetness is followed by a very short sourness: red fruits (cherrie)-Next, a very pleasant bitterness appears (hops)-And the final aftertaste is spicy (hops) with a pleasantly warming alcohol

Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation, medium bodied

Overall: One of the best bock beers I had this year. Nice! (694 characters)
